And

So this post is about the ampersand, otherwise known as &.

If you don't already know, the ampersand in English, means and. In Latin, et.

The ampersand was actually created as a way to write et in a cursive-like way. The font I chose actually shows the "e" and "t" pretty well, but it didn't always look like it does now. You can see the evolution of the ampersand here

So every time you use an ampersand you are really saying et.
